Loved By a Vampire King

No one knew what was happening inside Ayra's room. Right at that exact moment, hasty footsteps began to echo out from the narrow corridors of Vallodisan Castle. Ayra's door unexpectedly flew open and a pair of dark eyes fell on her sleeping back. Nothing changed inside except the woods that had been burnt untill their very end and had stopped illuminating bright lights.

Cedric released a long sigh of relief holding the door from his both sides tightly. He intended to play with those rogues for a while but his mind had suddenly became restless. A sudden discomfort captured his mind that pushed him to come back beside Ayra. When he found her sleeping soundly, his discomfort relived but the feeling of something going wrong here didn't fade away instantly.

His sharp eyes roamed across the room, taking a note of everything but nothing was found wrong. He tugged the door behind to close gently. Turning around, he paced slowly towards Ayra who looked like in deep slumber sleep. Walking by her bed side, Cedric sighed muttering to himself silently,

" You will give me heartache, Princess."

He never felt so insecure in his life. The more he tried to brush off those thoughts, the more he felt an unknown posseive desire to shield her from any danger. She was a powerful woman, princess and lastly his domineering queen but his heart always worried for her.

Since nothing was found suspicious here, he took a while to drink her goddess like appearance. Under the dim light from the fireplace, her skin appeared more enchanting. He could pass an eternity looking at her baby like sleeping face. A smile formed on his lips subconsciously. Realizing how foolishly he was smiling to a sleeping girl, his smile paused midway abruptly.

Is that what people called? Fool in love?

Exhaling softly, he tiptoed over her side to sit down over the edge of bed gently. Listening to her steady heartbeats, he was ensure that she was in deep sleep and wouldn't wake up anytime soon. His hand invoulantarily streched out to caress her face starting from the side of her forehead down towards her lips. His thumb brushed and caressed her face until his finger stopped over her swollen lips.

Her lips looked swollen but he was glad that he was the reason behind this. He could only endure her bruises that were left by him. His finger tangled with her lips which awakened Ayra slightly. But she was still dwelling between dream and reality.

Her inaudible words suddenly pierced through his ears like poison,

" Seth!! No!!"

Cedric drew his brows almost instantly. This was the last name that he wanted to hear from her mouth possibly. His finger over her lips suddenly pressured more with intensity. Ayra whinned irritatingly between her sleep and muttered again,

" Seth!!"

All the restraints that he put around himself broke down at once. The ache of jealousy swallowed him as he gripped one side of her arms to pull her up roughly,

" What the fuck are you muttering?"

Ayra was startled by his violent action. She was in deep sleep when he pulled her up like a craze. It took a while for her to figure out that where she was. When she came back her sense, she met his furious eyes that were turning darker in each moment.

Before Ayra could question him, Cedric barked again pulling her closer posseively,

" What, Princess? Missing your ex in your sleep? Why? You love him too much, don't you?"

After hearing the mention of ' Seth' from Cedric's mouth, Ayra could roughly imagine that what happened when she was asleep. She was dreaming about her childhood when she and Seth were like playmates not lovers anymore.

Who expected that this demon would appear from nowhere?

Ayra sighed out helplessly. Pressing the blanket over her bare chest shyly, she mumbled without meeting his eyes,

" It's just a dream.. Seriously.."

Right after she spoke, her chin was lifted up by his posseive hands. Forcing her to look into his burning eyes, he growled like a madman,

" You aren't allowed to take his name in your sleep too. You hear me?"

Ayra rebuked finding him ridiculous,

" What will you do then? Kill me like you kill others without second thought?"

Cedric replied frowning hard at her stern face,

" No, I will kill him for appearing in your dream."

Ayra could only remain speechless. Restraining her anger a bit, she spoke softening her voice a little,

" Calm down, okay? I was just dreaming about our childhood."

Cedric snorted before sobering up a little. Reminding of his uneasy feelings just a while ago, he asked trailing his eyes on her naked body,

" Did you sleep well? Have you seen those nightmares again?"

Ayra smiled a little over his concerned voice. He still remembered that she had frequent nightmares. Ayra assured with another smile,

" Yes! I was sleeping well. Why aren't you asleep?"

Cedric didn't want to scare her without any exact reason. Looking down at the scar that she had on her wrists, Cedric responded in a deep voice,

" Princess! I would like to know more about this scar. For this, we have to go somewhere. Would you like to know?"

Ayra actually never thought deeply about her mark. Since nothing serious had happened during the past decades, she simply treated it as an accident. She asked back with a chuckle,

" Why are you so concerned? Are you afraid that I will bring misfortune on you?"

Cedric surprised her with a low chuckle. He tilted his head aside to stare into her eyes intensely. His voice rang out with sincerity,

" What's misfortune what I will get when you are the biggest fortune in my life?"

Ayra was stunned for a moment before lowering her head down to hide her smile. Sometimes he amazed her with his sincere and loving words. Cedric continued looking down at her wrist worryingly,

" Witches never leave something without reason, Princess. I believe that she has her reasons for giving you this mark. Just be assured that no matter what happens, I will stay by your side. Tomorrow, I will bring you to someone who have the possible answer regarding this mark."
